Yes to men’s rights (provided it never actually happens) - "Gynocentrism runs so deep that even non-feminists, be they liberals or conservatives, balk at the idea of men’s rights."

I think we're being brigaded again. Seeing some very offensive, non-/r/mensrights-y comments and such tonight.

Sure...an increase in "rights" for men signal a decrease in power for women. Try asking anyone with power, i.e. property ownership, to give some of it up for the 'good of humanity' etc. Armed forces have been created to protect ALL property and its forms, i.e Sovereign property (countries), private property...and yes even "Pussy" properties!! Acknowledging Men's Rights, if you're a female, is a little like admitting you're part of a force unfairly, (or "fairly") exploiting some territory. Very noble BUT unlikely. The resistance is monumental. Males have traditionally countered this power imbalance, alongside the 'perils of Nature, by imposing harsh economic systems driving the majority--which of course includes the females--into a basic subsistence level existence. Men's Rights is a new and revolutionary energy application and 'competition strategy' thats trying to achieve better outcomes for EVERYONE without resorting to economics--or War. Its our ONLY hope now.

I keep hearing that the left and right attack mens rights with equal hatred. Leftist MRA's need to wake up from the denial and stop trying to push this obviously untrue idea.

It is not the far right pulling fire alarms at MR talks, making shitty skits on SNL, labelling the MRM as a hate group, writing scathing and bias articles....

The conservative position on Mens Rights is generally apathy or they jump on board in a sort of counter protest to "white privilege" and "affirmative action".

The scorn, hatred and silencing is coming almost exclusively from the left yet so many of you seem to have blinders on. Nobody wants to have this discussion because they feel they have to defend their side of the political spectrum.

And this is the part where you downvote me or tell me that this is not a left/right issue; attempt to redefine who the left and right are or point back into history to show the mistreatment of men from the right.

Chivalry is shit.

I don't need their approval.

Replace gynocentrism with patriarchy, swap men's rights and feminism, and you assholes would flip the fuck out. The idea that the people who hold power are men is totally ridiculous and nothing but a paranoid conspiracy theory, but the idea that women hold all the power in society, that's a totally reasonable idea based on logic and facts.

Gotta love that consistency.

Gynocentrism

Seems as ludicrous as "internalizing misogyny."

Funny how both the men's rights movement and feminism suffer from the same ills, somehow assuming that inequality was demarcated along gender lines. Can we stop with the patriarchy/matriarchy bullshit and just use our gender-centric frameworks how they're supposed to be used...as frameworks.

Men's Rights is a joke. We live in a vastly male dominated culture, we got the long end of that short stick. It's moronic to push for 'men's rights' until truly repressed groups are given more equality.

"Gynocentrism"??

You guys are worse than feminists.
